Chicken And Shrimp Chowder Recipe

This came about because I was guilty of the sin of gluttony, we had fixed BBQ shrimp the other day and reserved the shells anticipating making a shrimp soup recipe that I had come across but the Grilled shrimp was so good I did not reserve any for.
Read more...... this recipe. So after much modification (cleaning out the refrigerator ) this is what we got. Yes brothers and sisters I was guilty of gluttony, luckily I am an ordained minister and was able to absolve myself after an appropriate penance. I have been thinking of calling myself Father 555 but that seems too formal, perhaps Dad in place of Father. Yes that is it! Father Dad 555 that has a nice ring to it! For those that do not recognize it the picture is of Reverend Ike, he was a preacher in the 60s-70s (I just checked he is still active) in the San Francisco Bay area. He made no bones about where the donations went. "Send me a dollar!" "One dollar will not do you any good!" "If each of you send me a dollar! Then I can buy a new car!" Reverend Ike (real name Frederick Eikerenkoetter) was one of the first television evangelists who shamelessly pandered for cash and was openly proud of what he spent it on - sparkling jewelry, new cars and beautiful women.
The good reverend toned it down a bit in the late-seventies amid criticism that he was too much of a show-off - but he always defended himself by saying there was nothing wrong with a prosperous man of God.
After all, as Reverend Ike himself was quick to say, "The LACK of money is the root of all evil."
For entertainment value he was almost worth a dollar.

Rev Ike was quite the ikon and character. You have a great memory! Great post, JM rated it first and I tasted it first. I'm so happy that Mark got an extra couple of meals for us out of this recipe and it tastes really good to boot.:)
